Wathier has played his way up the Dallas system since being drafted in 2003, surfacing in the NHL for a total of nine games over the past three years. He has good size, meaning he could slot in as a checking center when injuries dictate, but there's nothing more than that here.

2010-11

Wathier provided some decent scoring (19 goals, 21 assists) for the Texas Stars (AHL) last season but doesn't project as anything more than a third or fourth liner at the NHL level.

2009-10

Wathier chipped in just 16 points in 77 games in the AHL last year, the third straight season he's appeared at that level.

2008-09

Limited to just 19 games in the AHL due to injury, Wathier figures to spend the bulk of 2008-09 in the minors.
